The FutUre Of mArblE ruNs! s!! Gecko Run takes classic marble runs to the next level with new creative challenges and less restrictive building requirements. This innovative marble run uses a specially designed system of flexible tracks that does not require any support structures. Traditional marble runs require lots of pieces to create vertical height, but with Gecko Run, your doors, windows, cupboards, bookcases — virtually any smooth surface — become part of your track, allowing you to build higher with fewer pieces. Attach the tracks to surfaces with the help of clever nano-adhesive pads, which work like nanoscopic suction cups, to create a strong, but temporary bond. Because the pads are not glue-based, they can be quickly and easily repositioned many times without any damaging adhesives or sticky residue. A quick wipe with a microfibre cloth will keep your pads ready for action! The versatile tracks are made from renewable, durable, and sustainably sourced raw materials. Thanks to their wide range of motion n and flexibility, you can create hills and jumps, and even turn corners to generate a limitless number of tricks and stunts. No two tracks are ever the same! Each unique configuration promotes hands-on experimentation, supports problem-solving through trial and error, develops motor skills, and encourages creativity for kids and their grownups!

SIGNATURE SERIES
Explore the future of advanced computing technology with KAI — short for Kosmos Artificial Intelligence! Build and program an intelligent, six-legged, app-enabled robot that uses machine learning to react to the gestures and sounds that you make. KAI can walk on its six legs, rotate its upper body 360 degrees, and its face is composed of 25 red LEDs that can be programmed to show different expressions and scrolling messages! Using the included app and your smart device’s camera and microphone, record physical gestures and sounds, and assign them to KAI’s five functions: walk forwards and backwards, turn left and right, and stop. The AI will learn to recognise each gesture or sound, even if they differ in small details. The more data you collect, the better the AI will learn from it. Create an AI model in the training screen of the app using the data you collected. Then put your AI model to the test in play mode by controlling your robot remotely. Just perform the same gestures or sounds that you did when collecting data, and your robot will perform the assigned function! You can also control KAI directly using the remote-control function in the app or by using your smart device as a gyroscope, tilting it in the direction you want it to move in.
